Greg Hyland talks about putting strange creatures on the map with ‘Monster Atlas’

Here’s my chat with Greg Hyland about Monster Atlas volume 1.

Greg Hyland is a writer, illustrator, designer and storyboard artist for The LEGO Group, who has worked on TV storyboards, illustrations and comics for such LEGO lines as LEGO Movie, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, LEGO DC Universe, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Batman, LEGO Spongebob Squarepants, LEGO Lord of the Rings, LEGO Hobbit, and LEGO Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He also writes and draws his own webcomic, Lethargic Lad, which appears at www.lethargiclad.com and has illustrated several card games for Steve Jackson Games, including Munchkin Fu, Ninja Burger, Chez Guevara, Burn In Hell, and Munchkin Zombies Artist Edition.

During our chat, Greg explained the painstaking research and creation of Monster Atlas volume 1 that he produced along with Glenn Kay. Greg also provided some insight into the nature of storytelling and how monster stories play a vital part to the upbringing of children.
